OVERVIEW
------------
PKZIP Explorer operates within Microsoft Windows Explorer
providing an integrated interface for compressing,
extracting, and managing your compressed data files.
PKZIP Explorer is the latest version of PKZIP, the popular
data compression program from PKWARE, Inc. PKZIP is a powerful
utility that provides many functions for data compression,
file archival, management, and distribution. PKZIP has led
the way in industry standard .ZIP format compression since
1989, when PKWARE introduced the .ZIP file format.
------------
INSTALLATION
------------
PKZIP Explorer is installed using the Microsoft Windows
Installer. This installation process makes installing
and configuring PKZIP Explorer easy and avoids common
conflicts that can arise when installing new software.
If you have purchased a REGISTERED copy of this software, it is
distributed either on CD-ROM or as an electronic delivery file
available for downloading from the Internet. If you have a
SHAREWARE copy of this software, it will be distributed using
a PKSFX(R) self-extracting file.
Installing from CD-ROM:
If you are installing from CD-ROM, simply insert the CD into
your drive. The Autorun feature will automatically start the
setup program. If the Autorun feature is not enabled on your
system, you can run SETUP.EXE directly from the CD. After the
setup program has started, follow the instructions provided
on-screen to complete the installation.
Installing from a PKSFX file:
If you are installing a version of the software downloaded from
the Internet (i.e. either a REGISTERED version purchased
online, or a SHAREWARE copy downloaded from an Internet site such
as www.pkware.com) you will receive a PKSFX self-extracting file.
The Windows Installer is packaged inside the PKSFX file.
Run the PKSFX file to start the installation. It will extract
the files needed to install the software and it will automatically
start the setup program. Follow the instructions provided by
the setup program to complete the installation.
When you run the PKSFX file, the files it contains are extracted
to an intermediate folder and the installation continues from
this location. Once PKZIP Explorer is installed and working
properly on your system, you may delete this intermediate folder
to free up disk space. If you delete this intermediate folder
but later want to reinstall the product, you will need to re-run
the PKSFX file.
We encourage you to make a backup of your PKSFX file, or of the
contents of the intermediate folder to ensure you will be able
to reinstall this product if you ever need to in the future.
-------------------
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------
PKZIP Explorer is intended for use on Microsoft Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 systems.
Systems running Windows 95 or NT 4.0 systems require Microsoft
Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater. PKZIP utilizes several system
(e.g. security) files installed in conjunction with
Internet Explorer. Therefore, Internet Explorer (version 4.0
or greater) must reside on your system prior to installing
PKZIP Explorer.
If you plan to use the Digital Signature feature available with
PKZIP Explorer, you must also obtain and install a valid
Digital Certificate onto your system prior to using this feature.
Visit PKWARE's website for information on where you can get a
Digital Certificate.

attachments can be automatically compressed into a .ZIP
file. This can help save storage space and reduce transfer
time for your messages with attachments. Since PKZIP

your attachments using many of the features available in PKZIP
